Web ADI brings Oracle E-Business Suite functionality to the desktop where the familiar
Microsoft Excel, Word, and Project applications can be used to complete your Oracle E-
Business Suite tasks. This guide provides instructions on using the Microsoft Excel
functionality.
The Web ADI integration with Microsoft Excel enables you to bring your E-Business
Suite data to a spreadsheet where familiar data entry and modeling techniques can be
used to complete Oracle E-Business Suite tasks. You can create formatted spreadsheets
on your desktop that allow you to download, view, edit, and create Oracle E-Business
Suite data. Use data entry shortcuts (such as copying and pasting or dragging and
dropping ranges of cells) or Excel formulas to calculate amounts to save time. You can
combine speed and accuracy by invoking lists of values for fields within the spreadsheet.
After editing the spreadsheet, you can use Web ADI's validation functionality to validate
the data before uploading it to the Oracle E-Business Suite. Validation messages are
returned to the spreadsheet, allowing you to identify and correct invalid data.
The fields that appear in the spreadsheet, their positions, and their default values can all
be customized through Web ADI's Layout functionality. This allows you to create a more
productive work environment by removing unnecessary fields from the spreadsheet, and
by organizing the spreadsheet in a way that conforms to your
practices.
Key Features
Oracle Web ADI includes the following features:
Validates Data
All data in the spreadsheet can be validated against Oracle E-Business Suite business
rules before it is uploaded. This includes validation against key and descriptive flexfields.
Data is validated against accounts, segment security rules, and cross validation rules. If
any errors are found, messages are returned directly to the spreadsheet, enabling you to
correct the errors and successfully upload the data.
Enables Customizations
You can use the layout functionality to determine what fields appear in your spreadsheet,
where they appear, and if they contain default values. These definitions can be saved,
reused, and modified as needed.
